Jury Deliberations Begin in Case of Omaha Surgeon Accused of Manslaughter in Fatal Crash
NANAIMO, BRITISH COLUMBIA, JUN 20 – Samuel Taylor faces charges after allegedly driving impaired and crossing into oncoming traffic on the Nanaimo Parkway, resulting in one fatality, police said.
- A jury has begun considering the manslaughter charge against Omaha surgeon Mark Carlson related to a deadly collision that occurred in September 2023.
- The case arose after prosecutors alleged Carlson caused the crash by reckless driving while the defense argued he lost consciousness due to vasovagal syncope.
- Evidence included videos showing Carlson's Mercedes AMG driving over 100 mph alongside Cameron Robinson's vehicle, and testimony about a road-rage incident prior to the crash.
- Deputy Attorney Lindberg urged the jurors to concentrate on the evidence, highlighting the aftermath of the crash involving Anna Bosma, while defense attorney Turnblacer argued that reckless driving charges cannot be sustained unless it is shown that the driver acted with full awareness and intentionality.
- The case remains before the courts as the jury continues deliberations, highlighting the legal complexities of determining responsibility in fatal crashes involving impaired or unconscious drivers.
